The title pretty much says it all, but how often do you eat popcorn, be it microwave popcorn, stove top popcorn or even the stuff that comes in chip like bags? I'm curious. Also, what are your favourite brands?
I usually eat quite a bit of it. It was one of my favourite snack foods while growing up, and something that was always readily available in my house. These days, I probably eat a bag a night, as a nighttime snack while watching TV or watching a movie. I've started doing that regularly lately, and used to eat it somewhat less before late last year/this year. But it's easy, tastes good and I never tend to get sick of it.
As a kid, we'd always have Orville Redenbacher branded popcorn, but it's gotten worse in recent years. I hated when they made the bags into half-assed bowls and you'd have to struggle to rip the red plastic off one side. The taste and value just isn't really there anymore either. I usually prefer the Walmart brand, or the President's Choice brand with butter flavour.
Movie popcorn can be great, so long as you get it fresh. The theatre by me will store unused popcorn in garbage bags in the back room overnight, then reheat it for early shows. Sometimes it tastes slightly stale and I know why. My friend used to work there and told me this. For about $7 a bag, you really should get better. Then again, I'm usually too cheap to buy it because it's so overpriced.
